The Doctrines of Grace | Regeneration

Regeneration is spiritual birth. It is what Jesus explained to Nicodemus in John 3. You are born dead in sin, and you cannot respond positively to God until God brings about the miracle of regeneration in you. When he does, you repent and believe the gospel, and you begin your new life in Christ. In this sermon, Pastor Dan discusses the distinction between people who have not been regenerated and those who have. The result is that the faithful get edified by knowing they are saved, the lost will hopefully be convicted to repent and believe, and it all this God receives glory. We are primarily in Ephesians 2 and 1 John 3 for this sermon. You can download the sermon notes below.

By the way, in the sermon we talked briefly about the Ordo Salutis (Order of Salvation). Feel free to refer to the chart below for clarifications as needed.

Also, we briefly discussed the distinction between the unregenerate life and the regenerated life. The chart below gives a detailed distinction with Scripture references to highlight what it means to be a believer and what it means to be unsaved.
